Dirt removal and grading delivery in Fultondale, AL

Revised October 2026

Get rid of a pile, strip a lot, spread what you ordered, fix the grade. Delivered to Chapel Hills, Black Creek Station, Fulton Springs and the rest of Fultondale.

Haul-off jobs in Fultondale are pool digs, footing spoil, and lots that were graded toward the house instead of away from it. Clean clay is cheap to get rid of because other jobs want it as fill. Dirt mixed with roots, stumps or concrete costs more. A regrade around Chapel Hills usually runs a half day to a day of skid steer time.

Dirt removal and grading jobs in Fultondale

Fultondale sits on the ridges north of Birmingham that were mined for coal through the 20th century, so sandstone and shale are close to the surface and old mine spoil is likely under parts of town. Black Creek and Fivemile Creek run through the low ground and flood along US 31 and the I-65 corridor. Newer subdivisions west of I-65 were built on cleared, graded clay where settling is common; older in-town lots have sunken yards and settled foundations.

What it is for

Hauling off the spoil from a pool, basement or footing dig
Stripping and removing an old lawn or a bad layer of fill
Spreading and leveling delivered dirt
Regrading a yard so water runs away from the house

This is not junk removal. Dirt mixed with construction debris, concrete or trash is a different job and a different price; say what is in the pile.

Getting the truck in

Older streets near US 31 are narrow; newer subdivisions west of I-65 are easy to reach, and the 2021 tornado zone still has active rebuilding lots.
